Lady Lane Park School in Bingley has opened Little Gems, a nursery for children aged nine months to four years.

The nursery's opening was celebrated with a Paddington-themed event and a visit from Bradford City goalkeeper and former pupil, Zac Hadi.

Headteacher Emma Arnold said: "We are absolutely thrilled to launch Little Gems Nursery.

"Our commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from the very beginning of their educational journey is something we take immense pride in.

"The addition of Little Gems allows us to extend our exceptional care and education to even younger children.

"We’re also incredibly grateful to Zac Hadi for taking the time to join us for this special occasion.

"His success is a testament to the kind of ambition and determination we encourage here at Lady Lane Park School."

The nursery will be managed by Sally Kernick, an early years specialist.

She said: "Little Gems is more than just a nursery – it’s a place where young children can begin their educational journey in a warm, caring environment.

"We focus on fostering a love for learning through play, creativity, and exploration."
